Methods of formation.

If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling.

If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).

Which of the following materials probably has the lowest porosity 1 Well sorted fine grained sediment 2 Well sorted coarsegrained sediment 3 Unfractured granite 4 Sand with well?

Unfractured granite probably has the lowest porosity among the options given. Granite is a dense, crystalline rock with a low porosity due to its solid mineral composition and lack of fractures or pore spaces.


A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different .?

Cooling rates. A coarse-grained rock likely cooled slowly, allowing larger crystals to form, while a fine-grained rock probably cooled quickly, resulting in smaller crystals.


Do different types of rock make different types of glass?

Yes, the type of rock used can affect the properties of the resulting glass, such as its color, transparency, and strength. Different rocks have varying compositions and impurities that can influence the characteristics of the glass when melted and formed. For example, silica-rich rocks like sand are commonly used to make glass as they provide a good source of silicon dioxide, the main component of glass.


Jolene is comparing a rock from a riverbed and a rock from deep underground one is very smooth the other has very sharp edges explain which rock was probably found in each location?

The rock that is very smooth is most likely the one that was found in riverbed because the river would probably toss the rock around and weather it down until it is smooth. Therefore, that means that the other rock was most likely found underground.


What is the name given to a fragment of rock with a different origin from the igneous rock in which in which it is embedded?

The name given to a fragment of rock with a different origin from the igneous rock in which it is embedded is xenolith. These xenoliths are often seen in igneous rocks, such as volcanic deposits, and can provide insights into the history and composition of the Earth's crust.

How do i add a swivel to my rocking chair Lazy boy!!?

If you can't look at it and figure it out yourself, you probably can't do it. Chairs that both swivel and rock use a different mechanism from chairs that just rock, and if you're not sufficiently mechanically inclined that you don't need to ask, your best bet is probably just to buy a different chair.
